So how can you grow veggies in the bunker?  |
Hmm. They need lots of light, which means lots of electricity. Could you build the bunker adjacent a geothermal power source? You could build a wind, solar, or hydro power source above the bunker, but what if it needs servicing? One appealing solution is nuclear.
I think the best place to be in the wake of a civilization-ending disaster is on an aircraft carrier. Get below deck until the fallout cools down, then convert the four acre flight deck into a farm. You've got a nuclear reactor onboard, which goes for 25 years without refueling. There's room for hundreds of people, plus livestock or hydroponics below deck. That's a good size for a community to remain cohesive and at least a little productive.
We had birds laying eggs here in February. Perhaps the owls detected a suitable climate farther south than usual.
